Developmental Delay for families from Dhone
When a child is not meeting milestones for movement, speech or learning - we find out why and what to do.
Developmental delay means a child is not reaching age-expected milestones in motor, language, social, or cognitive skills. The cause may be genetic, metabolic, perinatal, or environmental. We do a focused neurological evaluation, choose only the tests that change the plan, and start early intervention without losing time.

Understanding this condition
Neurological conditions in children affect developmental milestones, learning abilities, and overall physical functions. A clear clinical history, developmental timeline, and specialist physical evaluation are essential steps to avoid diagnostic delay.
Dr. Swetha identifies the underlying cause by looking at both clinical symptoms and diagnostic results, guiding you to therapies that yield the best results for your child's age group.

Treatment & management approach
The care plan depends on the child's symptoms, diagnosis, age, investigation findings, and overall development. We prioritize minimal effective medications to prevent side effects, titrated gradually.
Parents receive detailed guidance on follow-up requirements, medication timelines, emergency first-aid protocols, and developmental therapy instructions.
